A Conservative Endorses A Conservative — All Nouns

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  December 15th, 2009 at 12:14 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Still up on the noun vs. adjective bit of conservatism, I want to make sure you all knew that Jenny Sanford, wife of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, has endorsed Nikki Haley for Governor.

This is a big deal in the Palmetto State. Jenny Sanford has long been viewed apart from her husband as solidly conservative, both fiscally and socially. It’s not just that Jenny Sanford is instinctually conservative, but she is truly a conservative — unashamed to be in the trenches, getting her hands dirty, fighting for the conservative cause without apology.

In an open letter to South Carolina voters, Mrs. Sanford says, “Our state’s future is too important to leave to just another go-along-get-along career politician. Nikki Haley is the best person to be South Carolina’s next Governor.”

Amen to that.

Let’s get Nikki Haley elected.

    Just about any of her videos are fun to watch:

    If she’s not a complete sham,, then she’s gold.

    I had a diary about that…

    Straight up, Jenny Sanford’s endorsement carries more weight with me than her husband’s. When she had nothing to gain, she stuck with her marriage to try to save it — girl is a class act.

    I was already pulling for Haley, but that made it a “And Even More So” kind of thing.

    She is still a relative unknown in the candidate.

    Fix that! Go to her website and get your bumper-stickers. While you are there, donate a couple bucks to get her name out! Tell your friends and co-workers!

    Do you like having Boeing in our state? How about BMW? Scarce Union presence? Lower taxes? Do you like your gas prices as some of the lowest in the country? Do you like that the DMV now WORKS for you? Nikki is a continuation of these policies.

    Say what you want about Mark Sanford, the man; he deserves it. But as a governor and “team”, he and Jenny have tried to instill some real conservative values, both fiscally and socially, during their last 8 years in this state. Nikki gets it.

    We NEED her here. The South needs her here. The Nation needs her here.

    We really need EVERYONE’S help getting her more attention in order to overcome the millions of dollars other candidates have accrued as career politicians.

    Please, even if it’s just a few dollars, go to her site http://www.nikkihaley.com/ and donate.

    I’m working poor, myself–NOT a political “player” and not a member of her campaign–and managed to scrimp and save and sent several hundred dollars. That’s how much I believe in her candidacy.

    Nikki Haley is definitely one of us regular folks who was outraged at what she saw going on in our state government.

    I imagine she saw the pigs feeding at the trough. She, however, didn’t line up to get hers. She actually DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

    She is the ONLY one running who is not a good ol’ boy, corruption-as-usual-candidate. She is the ONLY candidate who has a RECORD of reform.

    And we need it. Things are bad here. We need and are pushing for full transparency in every aspect of our government. BOTH parties here are full of corrupt members in the statehouse.

    We in South Carolina have been beat up continually in the press. Gov. Sanford’s throwing himself under the bus with his bad behavior was just one of the most recent straws on the camel’s back. (And though of sound political philosophies, he’s been unforgivably LAZY in pursuing them.)

    We desperately need REAL reform in this state. Nikki Haley is it.
